נָחַ֣ר מַפֻּ֔חַ מאשתם [מֵאֵ֖שׁ] [תַּ֣ם] עֹפָ֑רֶת לַשָּׁוְא֙ צָרַ֣ף צָר֔וֹף וְרָעִ֖ים לֹ֥א נִתָּֽקוּ׃
Ang bulusan ay nasunog sa apoy, naubos na ang tingga; walang-saysay ang patuloy na pagdalisay ng nagdadalisay, sapagkat ang masasama ay hindi naihiwalay.
Rashi
The bellows is heated This is an allegory. When they refine silver, they blow with a bellows, and they always put lead into the crucible, which helps for the refining. But you—I have come to refine you. The bellows is heated and parched because of the fire, and the lead is completely consumed. נחר is an expression related to (Job 42:7) “My wrath has been kindled (חרה)”; (ibid. 30:30) “And my bones are burned (חרה) with heat,” (esrast in O.F.).
Rashi

Rashi

Separated Heb. נתקו, (furent de... in O.F.). (Another version:) and the wicked ones. This is like רשעים.
